"Tumor incidence" refers to the rate or frequency at which tumors or abnormal cell growths occur in a certain population or group of individuals. It essentially measures how common or widespread tumors are within a particular group.

Instead, «you are likely seeing variation of normal
tumor incidence in a small population of rats,» he said.
One study that administered strawberries to mice with colon cancer
found tumor incidence to decrease as supplementation of strawberries increased.
In the future, it is our hope that the use of probiotics - containing [supplements] would be a potential chemopreventive for normal humans, while the same type of microbiota would

on tumor incidence and cell phone usage.
C3H substrains that originated from neonate mice foster nursed onto or ova transferred into virus - free females have dramatically lower
mammary tumor incidence.
The monitoring of tumor formation of these stable cells in vivo resulted in no statistically significant difference in tumor - free survival driven by PREX2 variants, whereas the original study reported that these PREX2 mutations increased the rate of
tumor incidence compared to controls (Figure 3B and S6B; Berger et al., 2012).
Further, depleting either NK cells or T - cells in mice led to
increased tumor incidence, suggesting that both innate and adapative immunity contribute to immune surveillance.

either tumor incidence or latency in virgin mice (p = 0.6 and 0.5, respectively; Figure 6 — figure supplement 4).
Conclusion «A low carbohydrate, high protein diet reduces blood glucose, insulin, slows tumor growth, reduces
tumor incidence, and works additively with existing therapies without weight loss or kidney failure», the researchers conclude.
